You've heard the phrase: it only takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch.

Michael Housman is a workplace analyst whose studied the problem of "toxic workers," using data from hundreds of thousands of employees.

He joins us to talk about the damage one crummy or even criminal attitude can reap on an office full of people, and exactly how much a bad apple costs the company.
